FOI Request - Private Landlords Information

Request 101000220361

I am currently looking to obtain a database of all private landlords in Scotland for research purposes. Are you able to provide me with the names, telephone numbers, location addresses and email addresses of your private landlords.

Response 06-02-2014

This information is withheld in terms of section 30(c) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 on the grounds that its disclosure would be likely to prejudice substantially the effective conduct of public affairs.

The public search facility on the Scottish Government's Landlord Registration website is available for individual property searches. In addition, the information asked for is not publicly available in the form requested, and there is a decision by the Information Commissioner (attached) that confirms this response to such requests.
